How and what do we teach our students?
First of all, the High School of Television is one of the faculties of the best university of Russia and one of the best universities of the world – Lomonosov Moscow state university.
And it means that the students of the faculty receive the education in all range of classical humanitarian knowledge: the History of Russian and foreign literature, the History of the World’s philosophy, the World History, the Russian language and the foreign languages, the History of the World and Russian journalism, political science, sociology, psychology, art History and so on.
Besides, the students learn everything that belongs to the theory and history of the World and Russian cinema and television, and also acting, especially necessary for those who want to become TV presenters.
Moreover, we offer the cycle of theoretical and practical disciplines to master the creative actually television professions (and parallel to them to master creative cinema professions): photography, camera business, screen writing, TV directing, directing of the feature and documentary films, montage, managing of TV shows, TV journalism, managing of videoblogs, producing, animation, TV design and computer graphics.
A creative worker of television must possess all this knowledge and appropriate skills, that’s why, our faculty isn’t divided on the departments of different TV specialties. We teach our students everything that will anyway allow them to make a successful career on a televise on.
Finally, we teach our students to work on any kinds of modern TV equipment. There are training photo and telestudios, an editing studio with the set of all appropriate equipment in out High School. Besides, we have our own MTVS – a mobile TV station, mounted in a special minibus. The students only begin to master the methods of TV work on the faculty. Further they will have practice in the largest TV holdings of Russia and in leading producing TV companies in each year of study.
Besides, there are a great amount of optional and selection courses: directing of TV feature films (TV serials), documentary films, animation, etc.
Nowedays, practically all young people «live in Net». The imagination that the Net kills television is quite superficial. Television image is left so in the Net too. Never the less the methodology of the Net telebrodcasting is established in our programs of studying. And now FTV had opened the special programme of studying for personal video blogging.
